For top tier VC, it is primarily IB. However, idk if that is because VCs prefer IB or because people in IB are more likely to go to VC.

 

Like a lot of IBB or MBB, this comes down to MBB just having far fewer folks going into finance. VC is a fairly common path for after MBB, and everyone I know who has done that has gone to a great shop. For later stage and growth, modeling is still important, but business diligence and "client" dealings are very important particularly for earlier stage. In all, the MBB skill-set is a great foundation for all of VC as a whole. There is also less competition. I would strongly wager that the % of MBB in top VC funds compared to the % of MBB trying to go to VC is much greater than for IB
